What მალხაზი მუმლაძე likes about Cracked Crab:
Clam Chowder and the fried shrimp were really good! French fries were a little underboiled for my taste. The waiter was very nice and often checked. A little loud, but a fun atmosphere overall. View all feedback. What Leo Tampubolon doesn't like about Cracked Crab:
This place was pricey for what you get. We had fish and chips, shrimp and chips, and a crab roll. They have a good wine list but no hard alcohol. The fish was good, the fries were average, the coleslaw wasn't that great. The service was good. Their tartar sauce is really good. View all feedback.

Fun. Another way to eat crabs. Love that they put a beacon on you as you see on TV. I have to admit, it's expensive, so purse caution!
